Welcome to Weirton

September 27, 2013

Exchange students Barbara Sulimanova, left, from Slovakia and Claudia Diaz from Spain became honorary citizens of Weirton Wednesday. The girls, both 16, are staying with Weirton Rotarian Bill Galloway and are enrolled at Weir High School. On hand for the presentation were, from left, Sulimanova; Rotary International District Governor J.R. Wolfe; Diaz; Weirton Mayor and Rotarian George Kondik; Galloway; and Weirton Rotary President George Charnie. The girls, technically considered juniors, are taking advanced placement classes and playing volleyball this fall and tennis in the spring, Galloway said.
